Bill C-76: The Elections Modernization Act

Our Government is committed to strengthening Canada’s electoral system by making it more transparent, accessible, and secure. Recently we introduced Bill C-76, the Elections Modernization Act, which will make changes to the Canada Elections Act including:

Making voting more accessible for Canadians with disabilities and members of the Canadian Armed Forces

Restoring voting rights to over 1 million Canadians living abroad

Creating stronger enforcement methods to ensure the privacy of Canadians is protected
